The easiest (and most common) method to enter tracker data is by using the TRACKER plugin to create a form. An alternative method, is to enter tracker data directly from the Tracker interface pages.

One advantage of using the Tracker plugin, it allows you to add the form to any wiki page, thereby giving you more control over the display of the form.

To create a form:

  1. Create a new wiki page.
  2. In the wiki page, enter the following: 
    {TRACKER(trackerId="1", fields="1:2:3:4:5:6:8", showtitle="n", showdesc="y", showmandatory="y", reset="Clear", submit="Send")}
Thank you
{TRACKER}

    where:
    {NOTE()}The other parameters tell Tiki:
    • Not to display the title (name) of the tracker
    • To display the description of the tracker
    • To indicate which fields must be completed
    • To include a reset button (that will erase the form) labeled "Clear"
    • To include a submit button (that will send the form) labeled "Send"{NOTE}

    Adding the Tracker plugin to a wiki page.

    {TIP()}Refer to the Tiki Documentation Tiki for complete information on the available pluging parameters.{TIP}
    {NOTE()}Be sure to use the tracker field ID and not the — order. The actual order in which you include the fields in the TRACKER plugin is unimportant. Tiki uses the order field that you specified when creating the tracker fields.{NOTE}
    Alternatively, you can use the Plugin Helper to add the necessary information to the wiki page.

  1. Save the wiki page.
    Tracker form

You can now use the form to enter tracker items. Add several items, using the newly created form.
